BrAND PICK: oMEGA<br />
First Watch on the Moon<br />
The final letter of the Greek alphabet, omega Ω, symbolises the end point in<br />
western culture. We say “from alpha to omega”. But in the world of watches,<br />
it is more like the start of things. The swiss company omega has been leading<br />
development sin<strong>ce</strong> 1848 and was approved by nasa for its first manned flight to<br />
the Moon and for five others subsequently.<br />
aboard apollo 11 when it set off for the Moon on 16 July 1969 were flight<br />
commander Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins pilot of the Columbia flight module,<br />
and Edwin ‘Buzz’ Aldrin who piloted the eagle lunar module – and on his wrist<br />
was The omega speedmaster Chronograph. The whereabouts of this watch is<br />
unknown because it was stolen from its owner.<br />
omega has had plenty of highlights. The world’s <strong>ce</strong>lebrities have relied upon<br />
it, including john F. Kennedy, Prin<strong>ce</strong> William, George Clooney and Nicole Kidman,<br />
and at the vancouver Winter olympics last year it was the official timekeeper.<br />
The firm’s reputation as a pro<strong>vi</strong>der of timepie<strong>ce</strong>s that stand up to adventure<br />
has grown ever stronger sin<strong>ce</strong> the conquest of the Moon. The first choi<strong>ce</strong> of<br />
watch for divers was omega, and the omega seamaster has accompanied 007’s<br />
assignments sin<strong>ce</strong> 1995, when Pier<strong>ce</strong> brosnan became James Bond.<br />
omega’s renown as a pioneer is, of course, only figurative, but no other<br />
watchmaker has held as many records for accuracy. The company has come a<br />
long way sin<strong>ce</strong> the 23-year-old Louis brandt began to assemble pocket watches<br />
in la-Chaux-de-Fonds from parts produ<strong>ce</strong>d by local craftsmen.<br />
